UNDP

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

In January 2007, Crowley & Co. was hired to work with the
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Bangkok from our
headquarters in Washington, DC.

The task was to work virtually with an internationally distributed
team to design a large mural for use in a poster session at the
"Knowledege Management for Development Conference" in Manila February
8-9, 2007.

This mural was created in real time with the client then color was added to enhance the visual flow for ease of reading.

UNDP Mural

Who: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

What: A ten foot by three foot mural.

Time: One week.

Why: To support the UNDP staff in sharing their
success story regarding the creation of "Communities of Practice" around
the world both within the UN system and through partner organizations
in developing countries.

How: Working through phone interviews with UNDP
staff members in New York, Delhi, and Bangkok, Deirdre Crowley designed
the mural around the key themes and elements inherent in UNDP's
"Communities of Practice" initiative globally and with the UN Solution
Exchange in India. The final layout was determined to support the
networking success story that UNDP staff wanted to
share with fellow "Knowledge Management for Development" practitioners.

Background: There are currently more than 5,300
members of UNDP's global "Communities of Practice" which have been
established in the five priority areas of
development: Poverty, Governance, Energy and Environment, HIV/AIDS,
Conflict Prevention and
Recovery, as well as for Gender Equality, Management and UN
Coordination. An overwhelming majority of UNDP staff are actively
participating in and benefiting from knowledge sharing initiatives and
approaches.
